Question

Texas did not ratify the Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution until 2009. true or false

Answer 1

The statement is incorrect. Texas ratified the Twenty-Fourth Amendment in 2009, but it went into effect in 1964, prohibiting the use of poll taxes for federal elections.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the statement is incorrect. The Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on January 23, 1964. It prohibited the use of poll taxes as a requirement for voting in federal elections. Texas ratified the amendment on February 10, 2009, but this was to correct a clerical error in their records. The amendment went into effect nationally in 1964 and Texas' ratification in 2009 was just a formality to reflect this.
